PE

Intent

‘Physically educated persons are those who have learned to arrange their lives in such a way that the habitual physical activities they freely engage in make a distinctive contribution to their wider flourishing.’ – James MacAllister

At Ashby C of E Primary, Physical Education (PE) is an integral part of our Curriculum that is inclusive and engages all pupils, in a supportive and challenging environment. We aspire for children to acquire, develop and refine their practical skills and techniques; to further their knowledge and understanding of PE concepts and principles and develop their overall competence, to enjoy, and excel in, a broad range of competitive and physically demanding activities. 

Children are athletes! They participate in competitive sport and festival; through which we teach children how to cooperate and collaborate effectively as part of a team, how to move intelligently through the use of rules, strategies and tactics and how to compete appropriately against others with, our core Christian values at the heart of everything we do.

We provide opportunities for all children to build confidence to be physically active for sustained periods of time and teach children the importance of leading healthy, active lives and making informed and appropriate lifestyle choices.
